This is true, however, this particular warranty was purchased with the Durango from the dealer and added into the financing. It was a 3rd party warranty sold by the dealer, so they were obligated to honor it, but it was a major hassle to get the warranty company to approve repairs.
I'll never do that again.
Only Mopar warranties for me now and in the future.
Me too, and I agree. Finance negotiations are geared to sell these "plans" because they get massive kickbacks and perks from the sale of them. So don't feel like the Lone Ranger --- they got me too. :wall:
So far, so good though. I have the basic MOPAR plan as-listed on the window sticker (5yr/60K powertrain, 3yr/36K basic), but he talked me into purchasing a supplemental, 6yr/72K
unlimited plan for $2011. It's through a local carrier and has a $250 deductible. I paid too much for it. But it's "unlimited" (LOL) and came with something called "Car Care Elite", a service plan that fully-pays for all Periodic Maintenance for 7yrs/75K --- So given the added year/12Km mechanical failure coverage, I figured it was sort of worth the price at the time. The PM plan stipulates that I have to have the car serviced at the "Original Dealer of Purchase", but most dealerships honor it anywhere, if you call their toll-free number first. This PM contract comes with a "coupon book" that the dealer submits for reimbursement... Some dealers don't like these, and on rare occasions, won't honor them from what I was told. But if not, I would just need to pay the bill at the service center, then submit the bill myself for reimbursement plus postage. However, even though I bought my DD 150 miles away, my local dealership's service dept is cool with the plan and accepts the coupons.
